What a year 2022 was for Central Valley water news
Water, or the lack of it, was a major topic in California over 2022 — the third year of exceptional drought throughout the Western United States. In the San Joaquin Valley, drought dried up individual wells and entire towns. But the water news didn’t stop there. Farms and cities were also coming to terms with a new groundwater law that will change the economics and future growth for the entire valley. As if that wasn’t enough, water managers, farmers and others were busy fixing canals, trying to get a new dam approved, fighting over pipelines and more. It was quite a year in water.
